As I mentioned earlier...I am not big into crosses...but..when the anti-christians want the removed, band, or whatever...suddenly I am "interested"
This is what Franklin Graham said today!
That's because it represents the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ who rose from the grave after three days to redeem us from the penalty of our sins.
the display of the Cross represents the power of salvation to the saved but it doesn't represent that to the world that contests it. because the cross convicts. does it convict sin. yes in the respect that man's own judgements and ways separate themselves from the Creator that gave them His place in the earth. they don't want to know that nor be reminded of it, and it prevents their own justification to themselves and others of setting their own judgement of what is good and evil above God's Judgement. hence they hate it.
